Weekend Shenanigans

This past weekend was all about football, football, and more football. Which is basically what every weekend in the fall revolves around in my household. Football and tailgating food. Forget "holiday weight", I have to deal with "football season weight". This means that I pack on the extra pounds not just during the holidays, but from September to January. Thank goodness football season and bikini season don't overlap.

On Saturday, I made sure I was up by 9am so I could watch College Gameday...from my bed. Then we spent the day watching a variety of other college games leading up to the FSU game that evening.

We had a little game watching party at Ben and Nicole's new house where we had to use ESPN 3 on our laptop and rig it up to the TV since our game was not being televised. I guess FSU vs. Bethune-Cookman was not a TV worthy match-up. I'm so glad that Jared and I decided not to go to Tallahassee for the game because it was raining there and the game was a severely boring blowout. Final Score: 54-6

Even though the game was anything but exciting, we really enjoyed spending time with our friends cheering on the Noles and eating delicious game day food.

I'm pretty sure that Jared thinks that my wanting to play Fantasy Football is the best idea I've ever had. In addition to watching college football on Saturdays (which I've always done), I now also willingly watch NFL football with him on Thursday nights, all day Sunday and Monday nights. So on Sundays, we hang out on the couch together with our laptops and watch NFL Red Zone all day. Plus, all this football watching has taught me a lot more about the game than I knew before. So now, not only does Jared have someone to watch all the games with, but someone who can actually hold an intelligent conversation about it all day as well. 

Side note: I am actually surprised at how easy it has been for me to do football season without alcohol thus far. I haven't had a single alcoholic or caffeinated beverage in 3 weeks and I haven't even felt like I wanted one at any time. It just shows what you are willing to do when you desperately want something to work. Trust me, being on the pregnancy diet when you aren't actually pregnant takes a lot of will power.  

Yesterday, I also made pulled pork in the CrockPot and it was so delicious. Don't worry there will be a blog post about this one coming soon. It was so easy to do and made enough that we have leftovers for a few days. Yummy. I hope everyone had a great weekend enjoying the beginning of fall!
